Tofu Dreg Buildings Across China: 70 Year Property at Risk, Collapse Looms in Just Years!

The mortgage hasn't even been fully paid off, yet the house may be about to collapse. In Zhangjiaku, a homeowner reported that the parking basement has developed many cracks and is sinking. The property has a 70-year ownership right, yet it's only been occupied for a little over 10 years. In the Rongshengcheng residential complex in Zhangjiaku, the entire area under Building 9. Look at what has happened to this wall. I'm even afraid that Building 9 might suddenly settle and collapse completely. Can a house like this still be lived in? Who would dare to live here? Would anyone dare? The construction has deteriorated to the point where the ground itself is sinking. The cracks in the load-bearing beams are huge, and even the steel plates are misaligned. The interior had only been completed for just over a year, moving in December. Yesterday I happened to go downstairs to work, and as soon as I stepped in, I was terrified. Up to now, all of us are still living in this building. We really don't know which day it might collapse. From what I understand in this area, some people bought apartments at 7,000 yuan per square meter, some at 6,000, some at 5,000, and some at 4,000. A unit of over 100 square meters, plus interior finishing costs and parking fees, adds up to more than 1 million yuan. Almost the savings of three generations. Some people are still paying off their bank loans. Living in a building like this, how can anyone sleep peacefully at night? The parking basement has extensive cracks. Walls are cracking, load-bearing columns are cracked, and some are even misaligned. Truly chilling to see. The building has only been constructed and occupied for a year. It's terrifying. Above are high-rise buildings, tens of thousands of tons of weight pressing on already cracked walls and columns. The situation is extremely critical. It could collapse at any moment. Residents still haven't been evacuated. If it really collapses, it would be like the sky falling. The parking basement under Building 9 in Rongxingcheng, Zhangjiakou, is sinking entirely from this point down. Look at it. From this column to that column, this one, this one, then the two columns over here. This area has formed a large hole. That is these four columns, plus these two, plus the two on the other side. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Nine columns no longer bear weight. The entire load-bearing system has failed. This wall is cracked. A mesh is hung, patched, and white plaster is applied. See this mesh? Cracked mesh hung, patched with white plaster, and then it cracks again like this. Look at the mesh. Underneath it is a layer of yellow wall. It was hung with mesh and plastered, and now it has become like this. A whole section is collapsing, losing all shape. Oh my God, don't let me fall. Don't let me be buried under the ground. Look at it. What has this house become? The entire area under building nine. Look at what has happened to this wall. I'm afraid that building nine might suddenly collapse. The whole area under building nine has turned into this. Can a house like this be lived in? Who would dare to live here? Would anyone dare? Yesterday in Zhangjiakou, the entire A5 area caused a stir and made the news. Now, problems have also appeared in areas A3 and A4. In A4, cracks have appeared under the windows. In A3, a large hole has appeared on the road. You can't call it a well because there are no well columns. But if it's not a well, it looks like a bottomless pit. No one really knows what it is. Later, it's unclear whether more sinkholes will appear in A5. The house isn't even fully paid off, yet it's already on the verge of collapse. In the Rongxingqing residential complex in Zhangjiakou, Hebei, multiple load-bearing columns in the building have cracked and sunk. The entire building faces the risk of collapse. Surrounding areas, including the ground walls and parking basement, all show widespread cracks and sinking. Homeowners report that the building is deteriorating. Some families notice that floor tiles are cracking. A5 in Rongxingqing was only delivered in 2023 with a 70-year property right, and yet in less than two years, it's already about to collapse. Homeowners want to Netizens say the sky is falling. For those who have bought the apartments and are still paying mortgages, this is no ordinary tofu-dreg construction. How did such a project even pass inspection? Cracks at the column heads are extremely serious. The sight of columns and beams exploding in a split second suggests the internal steel may already be deformed. Bank officials have said, if you take a mortgage, you must repay it. It's not just this area. All across mainland China, there are countless tofu-dreg buildings, and construction quality is highly concerning. The road surface is sinking. On Tianfu Road opposite Tianhe Park, Tianhe District, Guangzhou, this building has already collapsed. Another building under construction on Tianfu Road has also fallen. Truly a tofu-dreg project. Oh my god, is anyone trapped? Surely someone has been crushed. There are people here, but they haven't gone inside yet. Construction has been going on for more than 10 years. It's been rushed. Yesterday, it was still called a high-quality boulevard. Riding a bike on the road, you could see how uneven the surface was. I saw a broken tile and checked it. Those of you in construction see what this condition is like. A high-quality project indeed. This really is a tofu-dreg project. The boss told workers to break this foundation layer, but such a small layer is so thin. Inside, there should be at least two steel bars, yet there are none. Look, workers can break the entire surface just by stepping on it. Late at night on November 1st, in a residential area of Danyang City, Jiangsu, a multi-story building developed cracks and was on the verge of collapse. In the video, large sections of the exterior wall are cracked or peeling, revealing the internal structure. The damage looks very serious. Residents reported that since October, when the neighborhood began underground pipe renovations, many people had complained that their homes were sinking or cracking, and relevant survey staff reportedly said it doesn't affect safety. Yet just a few days later, the building collapsed. Some residents revealed that the area is only 30 years old. The building collapsed well before the 70-year property period. The day before, someone had posted that building 38 in the Taiyang area of Danyang had begun to be demolished. However, residents who have been evacuated still haven't been properly accommodated. No one has contacted us, and much information has not been made public. Here, every single minute and second is torment. It feels like the house will collapse at any moment. The lives of everyone in the building are at risk. Every effort has already collapsed. This house is just so careless. Look at it. It's like a building made of foam. Oh my god, completely tofu-dragged. It's terrifying. Actually, all of this can be pried off. Pry it, squeeze it lightly, and it crumbles. It's all crumbly. It's already rusted. A large section falls, and above it, there's a small hole. The whole section that fell is just rubble, all sand. Falling down, it's all sand. The section that fell doesn't contain any stone, not a single piece. Everyone, look, I'm using one hand. See? All this cement-sand mixture was already loose during transport, meaning it shows the sand rising phenomenon. People usually say it doesn't bind. Inside, it's all mud, uneven in color, yellowish. In houses like this, the plastered mud is exactly like that. It looks like it's made of clay. This is supposedly hardened concrete, a concrete wall, but the quality is extremely poor. It looks like it was plastered with sand, but inside, there's no concrete at all, not even cement to be seen. Another tofu-dreg project. I found this place is really bad. Touch it lightly, and it falls. Master, look at this. There's nothing to it. A light touch is not solid. Just poke it, and it falls. Looking at this situation, it's very clear. The load-bearing capacity completely fails. Now we can see the panels have issues. So what about the beams? The columns? Problems like this directly affect structural safety. I really want to ask, do the authorities in charge not manage anything? Concrete is stratified. Sea sand is used. Dry cast columns. These things happen continuously. I've filmed this. Too dangerous. Everyone, look. Honestly, repairing roads is a good thing, but widening roads like this, pouring concrete straight into side trenches without compressing or treating it, just dumping it in, doing this is exactly good intentions, creating a tofu-dreg project. Now with construction quality like this, who is in control? They say 70-year property rights, but it might not even last seven years. Those high-rise buildings, it's only the third day, and already like this. When I heard you say buildings in this area were leaning, I didn't believe it. When I arrived, I was stunned. The buildings were really leaning. Comparing with lamp posts, the tilt is obvious. The ground is cracked wide open, gaps frighteningly large. The earth itself is splitting. I heard the basement is blocked off due to flooding. A man came to help his family move, saying he spent millions buying this apartment, saving his whole life. Yet after just a few years, it's like this. Who can bear it? Cracked walls, window frames splitting. Half of the area is blocked off. The hotel's electricity is off. Elevators stopped. Residents on upper floors have to lower items with ropes. It's terrifying. In recent years, tofu-dreg construction has appeared all over China. The reason is that contractors seeking quick, dirty profits constantly subcontract, skimp on materials, and hollow out projects, making quality impossible to ensure. Analysts say the spread of tofu-dreg buildings is also related to corruption. Many projects are state-assigned contracts filled with water inside. From inspection to handover, corruption occurs, and quality safety is sacrificed. Ultimately, countless geological bombs emerge nationwide, ready to cause disasters at any time. High-rise buildings, bridges, roads, factories, all are susceptible to major incidents. If a house collapses, don't say it's because I installed the materials. Look, touch the wall with your hand, it falls. People spend millions buying apartments, and in the end, they get a tofu-dreg building. Walls like this fall with a touch. Building a house like this, if it doesn't collapse, it would be strange. Even if windows fall out, don't blame poor installation, because the entire wall collapses to the touch. A house like this is doomed to collapse sooner or later.
